Heart attack—know the symptoms and what to do

Heart attack—know the symptoms and what to do

People often ask me where I get my motivation to always eat healthy and work out consistently.  Easy. Motivation is derived from wanting to achieve something positive and/or avoid something painful.  In my case, I have looming over me a family history of heart disease. My dad had his first heart attack at the tender age of 35! Then his second heart attack killed him at age 58.  So there’s my motivation! And I’ve spent...

Don’t get caught up in this hype!

Don’t get caught up in this hype!

  When it comes to selling, one of the oldest tricks in the book is to create an urgent need or problem, then magically provide (i.e.: sell) the solution to said problem.  Note that I used the word create here, because many times the need for a specific product is just not there, so the customer must be convinced (or scared into thinking) they need it.  At the same time, if other competing products can...

My experiment was an abysmal failure

My experiment was an abysmal failure

  I recently conducted a little experiment to see if my suspicions were correct.  And they were.  I wrote letters to 65 local gastroenterologists in my surrounding area and along the east coast of Florida, introducing myself, including my curriculum vitae, and explaining that I would be happy to provide specialized meal suggestions and convenient guides that they could give to their patients to help address any dietary-related causes of their symptoms.  Know how many...

What your sweat says about you!

What your sweat says about you!

  I recently passed a mixed martial arts (MMA) test for advanced green belt (the next level is brown belt!) and to say I was sweaty afterwards is a huge understatement.  I was telling all of my fellow MMA students after the test how my nickname in my prior 19 years of karate used to be “Sweaty Betty” and they got a big kick out of that!    All kidding aside, whether we like it or...

The deadly health threat that you never hear about

The deadly health threat that you never hear about

  This probably won’t surprise you, but I’ve long stopped watching mainstream media news because it disgusts me.  Talk about fear mongering, sensationalism and drama—some of these well-groomed puppets ought to win Academy Awards.  And the thing is, they will only talk about what their pharma and special interest sponsors allow them to report…so many times a truly imperative issue is slanted or swept under the rug because it would ruffle the wrong feathers.  Well,...

What your doctor doesn’t know about high blood pressure

What your doctor doesn’t know about high blood pressure

According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, currently nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, with readings consistently at or above 130/80.

Note that the hypertension population got a big “boost” back in 2017 when the high blood pressure threshold was changed from 140/90 down to 130/80. When that occurred, the percentage of American adults with hypertension jumped from 32 percent under the old guidelines up to nearly 46 percent!
